To make latex shiny, a good sheen can be attained using a silicone polish. We recommend PERV-O-SHINE, it is water-based & washable. Apply sparingly using a lint free cloth. A silicone spray such as PERV-O-SPRAY can be used after polishing to achieve a super high-gloss finish. Please note that silicone sprays do not dry completely unlike the wipe-on products, it will remain sticky to the touch. The shine of your garment can be enhanced with a silicone-based polish, such as Armor All or other rubber/vinyl conditioners.  Do not use oil-based lubricants!  They can destroy the material.  Use a soft cloth when polishing; an abrasive cloth could scratch the fabric. During the first treatment, mist one side of your garment with the conditioner, and then let it sit until almost all of the conditioner has been absorbed. Then flip your garment over and repeat on the other side.  You can wipe any excess off with a soft cloth.  It may take two or three treatments to achieve a nice shiny, mirror-like finish.  For transparent garments, you will probably want to treat the inside of the garment also.  This will increase the transparency. For subsequent treatments, simply spray the latex with STP’s Son Of a Gun (or whichever rubber conditioner you are using), and wipe off with a soft cloth.
